Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, ...

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a 45-year-old Mexican national, has to face another round of criminal charges in federal court after a jury acquitted him of murder and manslaughter in San Francisco Superior Court last November.

Quote:

His new defense attorney, prominent San Francisco lawyer J. Tony Serra, said the U.S. Attorney’s Office is expected to arraign Garcia Zarate early next week on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and being an undocumented immigrant in possession of a firearm.

Quote:

Serra, who joined attorney Matt Gonzalez and his defense team in court Friday for the sentencing, said the federal government filed the latest charges in retaliation for the not guilty verdicts that outraged President Donald Trump.

Actually, no. This is a common tactic going back years to obtain convictions where the local or state can't get one. The entire civil rights violations schtick comes to mind.

Sorry but,,,; it is the lawyers for the client, the illegal alien, making the claim it is retaliation, not the federal agents.

Their claim is that he unlawfully acquired or possessed a gun as well as illegally re-entered the country. Both Federal crimes only one of which would have been their case had the San Francisco authorities turned him over before he murdered Kate Steinle.

Irrelevant. Sarate broke the law. That someone DIED as a result is what made the "hay."
Do you seriously want to defend a creep who committed multiplecrimes of assault, Drug trafficking, Illegal Drug manufacture, and was deported multiple times because the President brought his list of misdeeds to the attention of the nation?
